5 - 7 - 10 Writing

LI: to use the 5 - 7 - 10 strategy to write a story

Lightning doesn’t strike twice, does it?

The story began with the family of four traveling to the countryside to their Grandparents. They were so pumped, and full of excitement because they’ve never been at a farm. They finally arrived at their Grandparents farm. Mike and Jessica jumped out and ran out to explore the farm, and the countryside while shouting “. Grandpa shouted out “Don’t run out!”, “There's going to be a thunderstorm!”. But it was already too late, they ran out full of joy and excitement. 

Mike and Jessica were already in the stable with the horses, then out feeding the pigs. They kept exploring and going out, they were so carried away they ended up out of the farm. They ended up lost but they weren’t too worried. They were out trying to trace their steps, but lost their path. Then they got worried, they didn’t know where to go! They got even more frightened when they started to see the clouds, all dark and gloomy taking cover over the countryside. 

It began with a small chunk of rain, but the rain started shooting down. They were running from through the rain, trying to find shelter. Until they saw an old abandoned windmill, they heard a loud thunder, and they felt the base of the windmill shaking a bit. They heard a creepy rough voice “Lightning doesn’t strike twice does it?”. That was the question that occupied their frightened minds as they crouched, huddling together, next to the pile of dusty sacks in the base of the windmill. They wondered “Does lightning strike twice?”.

For Writing we were writing a story using the 5 - 7 - 10 method. The 5 - 7 - 10 is a method used to help people write stories. This method consists of 3 steps. The first is using 5 minutes to write as much ideas as you can. For the second step you find a writing buddy, and read each - others work and give feedback and feed forward. You do that 7 minutes each. For 10 minutes you finish off the work you are doing. For our idea our writing was based off of these sentences "Lightning doesn't strike twice, does it? That was the question that occupied their frightened minds as they crouched, huddling together, next to the pile of dusty sacks in the base of the windmill".
